1 I was glad when they said to me, ♦︎
Let us go to the house of the Lord.
2 And now our feet are standing ♦︎
within your gates, O Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem, built as a city ♦︎
that is at unity in itself.
4 Thither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, ♦︎
as is decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set the thrones of judgement, ♦︎
the thrones of the house of David.
6 O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ♦︎
May they prosper who love you.
7 Peace be within your walls ♦︎
and tranquillity within your palaces.
8 For my kindred and companions sake, ♦︎
I will pray that peace be with you.
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, ♦︎
I will seek to do you good.
1 Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, ♦︎
and walk in his ways.
2 You shall eat the fruit of the toil of your hands; ♦︎
it shall go well with you, and happy shall you be.
3 Your wife within your house
shall be like a fruitful vine; ♦︎
your children round your table,
like fresh olive branches.
4 Thus shall the one be blest ♦︎
who fears the Lord.
5 The Lord from out of Zion bless you, ♦︎
that you may see Jerusalem in prosperity
all the days of your life.
6 May you see your childrens children, ♦︎
and may there be peace upon Israel.
1 Alleluia.
O praise God in his holiness; ♦︎
praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts; ♦︎
praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the blast of the trumpet; ♦︎
praise him upon the harp and lyre.
4 Praise him with timbrel and dances; ♦︎
praise him upon the strings and pipe.
5 Praise him with ringing cymbals; ♦︎
praise him upon the clashing cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath ♦︎
praise the Lord.
Alleluia.
